GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Planners remind us that September is National Preparedness Month, now is the perfect time to focus on how to prepare for the worst.
One important question to ask yourself, “what would I do in an emergency situation? Would I be prepared?”
Preparedness experts say it’s better to think about the answers to those questions now, than to be put in a tough situation in the heat of the moment.
Allison Farole, City of Grand Rapids Emergency Manager says families can start prepping for emergencies with a simple conversation.
Farole said, “Really being prepared is a four-step process that all stems from a discussion. The first step is understanding the hazards that can really impact the city of Grand Rapids and the west Michigan area.”
